I tried posting this on the problems section of this forum but didn't get much response.
Thought guys concerned about suspensions are more likely to be tracking their cars and running in to limp mode
So I know the car has issues with cooling at the track and it is possible that a vented hood and a PWR radiator may help but what I want to know is, what happens when the car goes in to limp mode.
1) does it suddenly lose power? If so, how much? i.e. does it make you unsafe until you can cool down?
2) do you get a dash light and if so what does it look like? Any warning before it triggers?
3) how long to get out of limp mode? Do you have to stop and let the engine cool or will it revert to normal within a lap or so?
4) what are the triggers? ( I know this is a tough one because there are likely a number of triggers and a true measure of oil temps is not one of them)
I am concerned that if the car suddenly loses power that the guy following me particularly in a high speed corner will be totally surprised if all of a sudden I appear to unintentionally slow down.
